Matching Quote
"Decisive inventions and discoveries always are initiated by an intellectual or moral stimulus as their actual
motivating
force, but, usually, the final impetus to human action is given by material impulses ... merchants stood as a driving force behind the heroes of the age of discovery; this first heroic impulse to conquer the world emanated from very mortal forces—in the beginning, there was spice."
-Stefan Zweig
